PHPBB HaS tutorials that bv just borrows. You dont have to BUY phpbb although you may have to purchase some of the mods for it.

Re: Help me to make some changes to phpbb forum

okay, y'all. I am thoroughly confused. So, if I want to pHpBB page on my website, I have to buy a program to moderate the site? I thought BV has tutorials on how to do this?

Re: Help me to make some changes to phpbb forum

It would depend on the mod, but generally a mod written for 3.0.1-3.0.4 will work on 3.0.5

You need to install the forum first and then add the modifications one by one.

Re: Help me to make some changes to phpbb forum

1. mods for 3.0.1 or 3.0.3 for example work on 3.0.5(latest version - i have this one)?

2. i will add all mods on my phpbb 3.0.5 then i will install forum from scratch, works ? or i need first to install forum and then add mods 1 by 1?

Most of all before installing the Mods goto the phpBB forum knowledgebase and find reading instructions on how to install your different Mods.

phpBB3 also gives you added security by providing a login Captcha
which can help you prevent spam in your forum.

My experience.

I Insalled phpBB2 in another one of my website and before I could finish configuring the forum, I had more than 200 spam entries and registration.

In another site where I installed phpBB3 where I set the Captcha to login at a medium level,..........I did not have any spam at all.

It only cost 50 to have someone knowledgeable to install phpBB3 forum for you +30 per MOD that you really need.

Why pay 200 for something that you really know nothing about and may cause more headaches later on?

1 question,

Code:

" i change my mind, i will install the phpbb3 forum"

if i have the latest version of phpbb3 - phpbb3.0.5- can i install the mods that are for 3.0.0, 3.0.1,... --> 3.0.5 or i can istall only mods for 3.0.5
I get error if i install mods for lower version of phpbb that i have (3.0.5)?

thx
i learned ho to install mods, its verry simple now

the latest question : is good to install all mods on my phpbb3.0.5 now and after to install the forum from scratch? or is not so good?

good day

Best of luck with your site though as well as the wait for D3's release (I'm waiting too)

i found someone who have an phpbb2 with mods that i need, and for 200-250$ would give me 7 mods :

Code:

#1. Forum Gold & buy forum gold system & loked forum gold 
#2.Warn system 
#3.Guild system( buy with fg), color name for guild, rank for guilds 
#4.Users color name + glow 
#5.custom stars
#6.Topics color 
#7.Lottery

Vbulletin would have to be manually installed. Its a pay script, so you would have to purchase a license first (http://vbulletin.com).

You are also getting php and phpbb confused. PHP is a programming language, phhbb is a bulletin board programming in PHP.

D3jsp has several mods installed on its forum (its running phpbb2). Offhand looking at the site they have these mods installed:
Some type of portal mod
Chat mod
Warning system
Forum gold
An announcement system
some sort of clan management system

Now I can't really go into indepth detail of finding/installing all of these mods, here is a link to a good search for mod/hack sites for phpbb2
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&ei=oycgSrQioL63B7CsnckG&sa=X&oi=spell&resnu m=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=phpbb2+(mods+OR+hacks)&spell= 1&fp=2Inaafc1UxE

If your going to run phpbb3 change the google search accordingly.

The cost for someone to do these upgrades would vary greatly on who is doing the job. You can probably find someone to install of a bunch of mods relatively cheaply ($100-$200). Now I would make sure you either have your templates modified or install one you download before you go about installing mods. Mods generally have two sides, the backend (the php code/database modifications) and the frontend (the template modifications). If you install all of the mods and then go about changing the look you will be basically reinstalling half of each mod you have installed.

Finally... to make sure your not confused on this. BlueVoda is a webpage generator, not editor. NOTHING you install on your website (such as a forum, blog, cms, calendar, portal, etc) can be modified using BV. All of these types of things are hand coded, and can only be modified the same way. The closest you will get an easy template modification is a website such as Colorize It, which will dynamically change the colors of a few predefined templates they have available at their website.

Oh, and I'm just wondering, what game are you making your trade forum for?
